Of course, all looks good until something fails. And you know, developers 
worry about the best way to manage the code (and here we know modular is 
better) but not for what's the best for users to deal with it ;-)

Sorry if I sound a bit apocalyptic, but removing something just for the 
sake of removing is not a good way to encourage your users to make the 
change.
